Weight Event
Lure Huskies
To KU Relays
LAWRENCE, Kans. A pre-war
. packet of standout weight men
promises to hand the 1947 Kansas
Kelays one new record as well
as furnishing the toughest imple
ment competition here in a decade
when the big muscle artists get
together for the twenty-second
running of the event April 19.
There isn't a single tripier who
.can be considered a tille threat
in all three weight affairs and
the favorites role will be scat
tered over a trio of different per
, formers for individual crowns.
Tiger Leader
Topping the list will be Mis
souri's ponderous Ed Quirk, who
is regarded as the top shot putter
in Tiger history. The big Bengal
picked off the NCAA champion
ship in 1945 and returned to Big
Six competition last month by
winning the indoor crown at 50
loet and S'jfc inches.
His best mark is 53 feet, 1 inch,
an ! if h can duplicate that here
res Saturday he'll walk off with
ont of the day's brightest rec
ords. The present standard is al
most a foot behind Quirk's best
toss at 52 feet. Pi inches. This
was established by Elmer Hack-
ncy, Kansas Stale's famous One
Man Gnng. in 1939.
Another Kansas Stater, giant
Kollin "Tiny" Trainer, will chat
lenge Quirk for top honors. The
6-foot 5-ineh Wildcat scored a
double at the recent Texas Relays
t by winning the shot and discus,
his mark of 50 feet, 84 inches
establishing a new individual high
for the season. He was runnr-up
to the Missouri Mastodon at the
conference indoor trials with a
pitch of 49 fe?t, 94 inches.
Two other Tarzans must be con
sidered. One of them is Fortune
Gordicn, the brilliant Minnesota
two-event ace, who owns the sec
ond best .nark among the top
ranking competitors at 52 feet, 11
inches. This heave was only good
- enough to hand the muscular
Gopher a third at the Big Nine
indoor meet, but could be a win
ning distance here.
Fourth front-runner is Iowa's
terrific football fullback, Dick
Hoerner. His best effort to date
is 50 feet, 10 inches.
Discus Choice
Gordien will be favored in the
discus since he won the 1946
NCAA title on a toss of 161 feet,
3 inches. Hell draw chief com
petition from Prather and Mis
souri's Mel Sheehan, who won the
Big Six crown last May at 153
feet, 2 inches. Prather's winning
effort at Texas was 151 feet, 2
inches which definitely puts him
in the running.
A fourth contender is certain to
be Orv Yocum of Peru, Nebraska
Teachers, who owns a throw of
149 feet, 3 inches.
Even though the field should
be closely bunched Archie Har
ris' tremendous record of 171 feet,
6 3 inches seems as safe as Cy
Young's pitching marks.
Javelin competition is a site
likely to featare a duel between
two Big Sixers, Herb Grote of
Nebraska and KUTs brawny sopho
more, Karl EbeL Grote, wlw m
, is dowa t bis pre-war throwing
weight of aroud IS pounds, is
defending champion. He won here
last year with a whip of 197 feet,
6'i inches. Bat his best mark
is 216 feet, 2 inches hang ap be
fore bis service years.
Ebel fired the steel-tipped spear
193 feet, 9 inches to take third
in the Relays last year, but hasn't
approached that effort since.
t However he got off a 189 foot 3
inch toss at the Texas Relays for
fourth place then came up with
a remarkably good shot of 188
feet. I1 inches in the rain and
mud in a dual against Emporia
State.
Jim Jones of North Texas Slate
al?o must be considered. His toss
of 190 feet, 3 inches earned a
third at Austin a few weeks ago.

Scarlet Nine
Sweeps Series
From Kansas
Coach Tony Sharpe's Husker
baseball team got off to a good
start in Big Six play by sweeping
a double header from the Kansas
Jayhawks Saturday at the UN
field.
After a Friday game was post
poned because of wet grounds,
the Scarlet nine trimmed the
Kansas team S to 3 and 4 to on
Saturday. Harold "Tap" Jacob
pitched the first game and Elroy
Gtoystein authored the shutout in
the nightcap, limiting the visitors
to two safeties.
In two earlier games, played
April and 5, the Nebraska
team bowed to Colorado at
Boulder in both ends of a two
game series. Colorado trimmed
the Huskers 11 to 1 in the first
contest of the season for both
teams, and then came back to nip
the Huskers 7-6 in a 10-inning
battle.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
3ebrs!sci Football TeGH
SHesysimes Spring Drills
Refreshed by week's vacation,
the Nebraska football squad re
turned to its spring practice du
ties with a will Monday after
noon, as the Husker coaching staff
did its best to get the gridders
back into the swing of things.
During the layoff the Scarlet
mentors had a chance to weigh
the assembled talent, and Bernie
Masterson and company came up
with a number of lineup changes.
A trio of backfield candidates
changed positions, as well as one
lineman.
Included in the proposed shifts
is the switching of Frank "Junior"
Collopy from his halfback post
to quarterback. More aid for the
signal calling post arrived when
Del Wiegand, Kearney freshman,
returned to the varsity from the
Nubbins roster.
Wiegand Back.
Wiegand was a sparkplug for
the B team last fall and provided
the Nubbins with a potent aerial
game. Collopy is in the midst of
a tour of backfield positions. The
Scottsbluff sparkler started last
fall as a fullback, moved to half
back, and is now listed for quar
terbacking. The fullback snot came in for
a double bit of attention. Bob
Reidy, hard charging halfback
from Napersville, 111., switched to
the bucking spot, and Bob Mullin.
second semester enrollee from
Connelsville, Pa., has shifted his
alliegiance to the end position
from fullback.
Still another change found Os
car Mussman,- rugged Deshler
tackl, moving out to the end
squad. Mussman joined the var
sity crew late last season after
winning attention on the Nubbins
squad.
Two more members of the
spring crew checked in their togs.

against a Nubbins backfield and

got a taste of defensive and of
fensive duties.
